EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Jitendra Prakash, we witness a powerful moment of devotion and spirituality. The image showcases a group of women devotees who have just taken a holy dip in the Sangam, the sacred confluence of three rivers - the Ganges, Yamuna, and Saraswati. It is during the auspicious Hindu festival of Sheetala Ashtami that these women gather to offer their prayers. The atmosphere is filled with an air of reverence as they bow their heads in deep prayer. Their faces are illuminated by faith and hope, reflecting their unwavering belief in the divine power they seek to connect with. Dressed in vibrant traditional attire, each woman exudes grace and humility. Sheetala Ashtami holds great significance as it honors Sheetala Mata or the goddess associated with smallpox. During this festival, mothers fervently pray for long lives for their beloved sons. This heartfelt plea can be seen etched on every woman's face as they beseech blessings from above. Jitendra Prakash's lens beautifully captures not only the physical act but also the emotional intensity behind these devotees' actions. Through his skillful composition and timing, he transports us to this spiritual gathering where faith transcends boundaries. This remarkable photograph serves as a testament to both religious devotion and cultural heritage that continues to thrive amidst modernity in northern India's city of Allahabad.
